Exclusive: Some 20 years after it took root in the imagination of Francis Ford Coppola, Megalopolis screened this morning for the very first time. Held at the Universal CityWalk IMAX Theater, the epic film screened for buyers, and had every distributor in attendance. Also in tow were family friends and filmmakers, a list that included Angelica Huston, Nicolas Cage, Andy Garcia, Spike Jonze, Al Pacino, Jon Favreau, Colleen Camp, Roger Corman, Darren Aronofsky, Cailee Spaeny and cast members Shia Labeouf and Talia Shire.
I was there also, and what can I say about the movie when I promised Coppola I would not do anything approximating a review? Coppola’s new film is crackling with ideas that fuse the past with the future, with an epic and highly visual fable that plays perfectly on an IMAX screen. He covers complex themes in a remarkably brief two hours and 13 minutes, not including credits.

The Matrix's serious treatment of an outlandish premise revolutionized superhero films and influenced the genre's golden age. Groundbreaking action sequences and extended universes paved the way for iconic moments in the MCU and modern action movies. At 25 years old, The Matrix's lasting impact on action, sci-fi, and superhero genres proves it is a timeless classic still influencing cinema.
25 years ago, The Matrix arrived with virtually no expectations whatsoever and almost immediately became one of the defining science fiction movies of the generation. Against all odds, its influence eclipsed 1999's other big sci-fi blockbuster, Star Wars - Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and it kickstarted a franchise that, at its peak, rivaled the Star Wars fandom. It's a film that still holds up remarkably; to this day, it's the kind of daring, visionary work that seems less prevalent every year; it oozes a delightfully geeky love of its anime influences,...

‘Thunderbolts*’ has finally started filming after facing some challenges during development and dealing with cast issues following the SAG-AFTRA strike. Recently, Florence Pugh shared a video on her social media, giving fans a tour of the set.
In the video, we got a glimpse of her new costume and the updated title of the movie, ‘Thunderbolts*’ with an asterisk. However, the significance of the asterisk hasn’t been explained by officials yet. Filming officially began at the end of February at Trilith Studios and Atlanta Metro Studios in Atlanta. Reports have surfaced indicating that Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky, was completely absent from the set a few days ago.
Alex Perez, a well-known industry insider and leaker, confirmed this and provided a plausible explanation. According to him, Bucky is set to join the team later in the filming process, so it’s reasonable for him not to be on set from the beginning.

Transformers One has a star-studded voice cast, featuring Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson in key roles. Hemsworth will voice Optimus Prime, breaking a 37-year streak, while Johansson will play Elita-1. Despite high box-office expectations due to the star power, Transformers One faces challenges in reviving the Transformers brand.
Transformers One is on the horizon, and it has one distinct advantage over every other film in the Transformers movie franchise. Scheduled to be released on September 13, 2024, Transformers One will serve as the eighth installment in the sci-fi action film series. It will also be the first animated film to share continuity with the live-action movies that started with Michael Bay's Transformers in 2007.

Gil Grissom's exit posed a challenge for CSI's producers in finding a suitable replacement. Catherine Willows, Dr. Ray Langston, and D.B. Russell were all attempted replacements for Grissom. Petersen's iconic portrayal made finding a replacement for him challenging.
William Petersen as Gil Grissom was the face of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation for several seasons until his exit from the series, and CBS tried to replace Grissom numerous times until the show ended in 2015. The procedural forensics crime drama television series, created by Anthony E. Zuiker, ran for 15 seasons after its premiere in October 2000, and its cultural impact is significant and undeniable. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation was the beginning of a franchise, including multiple spin-offs. But the original show is undoubtedly the franchise at its greatest.

Laurence Fishburne, known for films like The Matrix and Apocalypse Now, reveals a touching, raw and emotional side to him in his one-man stage show, Like They Do in the Movies. The show, written by Fishburne and directed by Leonard Foglia, opened on March 21 at the Perelman Performing Arts Center in New York City.
Fishburne opens up about his acting career, spearheaded by his mother when he was a child. Hattie Fishburne saw talent in her son at a young age and pushed him into the performing arts. In contrast to usual well-known tough and authoritative roles, Fishburne’s performance in Like They Do in the Movies is soft and intimate as he narrates his life to the audience. Though, that doesn’t mean it isn’t powerful.
As a solo performer, Fishburne embodies each person/character that impacted his life and career, such as a Hurricane Katrina survivor, a homeless man and more.

Four decades after Francis Ford Coppola began thinking about his sci-fi epic “Megalopolis,” cinephiles are closer than ever to seeing the finished product on the big screen. After years of studio rejections, Coppola opted to self-finance a large portion of the $100 million movie, which filmed in Atlanta in 2022 and 2023 with a cast that includes Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Nathalie Emmanuel, Forest Whitaker, Laurence Fishburne, Shia Labeouf, Jason Schwartzman, and Dustin Hoffman.
While few specifics are known about the film’s plot, it is believed to take place in a futuristic city modeled after the Roman Empire and follow an architect named Caesar (Driver) who struggles to balance his idealism with the pragmatic demands of his peers. “Megalopolis” is certain to be one of the most anticipated premieres at whatever film festival ends up landing it, but any film lovers hoping for more concrete details might have to wait until they see it for themselves.

There probably aren’t too many movie fans that aren’t looking forward to Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, his passion project that is decades in the making. And while we have gotten a lot of news in terms of plot, casting, title design, and more, it still feels sort of surreal that Megalopolis will finally be released later this year. But if we want any further details about what to expect, one of its stars, Adam Driver, can only tease.
Driver, who plays a character named Caesar in Megalopolis, described the film as such: “It’s kind of undefinable, which feels very general until you watch the movie. Then my answer will be perfect. There’s not a lot of precedent for it and it’s wild on a big scale, which is what’s really unique about it.” That’s not a whole lot but that Driver suggests...

1999 was famously a great year for film, and it’s hard to pick what masterpiece from that year stands out as the greatest. Is it Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Magnolia”? Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut”? Spike Jonze’s “Being John Malkovich”? One could reasonably come up with hundreds of answers (even the teen films that year were pretty great), but it’s hard to deny the most influential film of the year came from Lana and Lilly Wachowski.

The original CSI changed the team's leader multiple times, unlike the Miami and NY spinoffs. Miami, NY, and Cyber maintained their main characters throughout their shows, although Cyber only ran for two seasons and welcomed D.B. Russell in season 2. Keeping the same protagonist made the CSI's spinoffs distinct from the original show
There is one thing that made CSI, also known as CSI: Las Vegas, different from all the other spinoffs, especially compared to CSI: Miami and CSI: NY. One of the most influential TV shows of its era, CSI ran for 15 seasons and led to three spinoffs as well as one revival, which is currently airing. The CSI universe once had three shows airing at the same time, with new cases in Vegas, Miami, and New York every week. While the original Crime Scene Investigation is widely regarded as the best CSI show, the spinoffs helped build the franchise’s legacy.

The perfect movie ending caps off the entire story, resolves the film's questions and themes, and makes audiences talk. Achieving the perfect balance with these elements is challenging, therefore there are very few perfect film endings. Some films end on anticlimaxes or provide vague closure, while others feel satisfactory but leave potential plot threads hanging or questions unanswered.
However, few film endings make little sense, even with a forgiving audience. They may be mired in such deep symbolism that only the creator can understand the intended climax. Similarly, some finales introduce nonsensical elements seemingly out of nowhere. Other dénouements defy explanation, even when viewed more than once. Even a rewatch can't make these movie endings any better.

Singleton's groundbreaking Oscar nomination for "Boyz n the Hood" illuminated urban community issues. The film's nominations set the stage for more projects depicting similar themes and stories. Singleton joins other distinguished young directors like Orson Welles and Spike Jonze in making impactful work.
Since 1929, the Oscars have accomplished many historical feats that continue to inspire and influence generations of filmmakers worldwide.

Mission: Impossible franchise often features changing Imf directors, but Anthony Hopkins' Swanbeck stands out with unique gravitas. Hopkins' absence from the series since Mission: Impossible 2 remains a mystery, adding to the enigmatic nature of his character. Hopkins' uncredited cameo in Mission: Impossible 2 and changing tone of the franchise explain his departure without an official explanation.
Replacing Henry Czerny's Kittridge, Anthony Hopkins became the Imf's new director Swanbeck in Mission: Impossible 2, yet he hasn't appeared in the spy franchise since. First appearing in voiceover following Tom Cruise's famous opening rock-climbing sequence, Hopkins gives Swanbeck a unique gravitas, making him one of the most enigmatic Imf directors in the entire series. Given Hopkins' status as an actor and Swanbeck's unexplained fate following Mission: Impossible 2, both the actor's and the character's absence from the rest of the franchise demands further examination.

In 2011, I watched Contagion and found it a gripping thriller with an all-star cast–Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Elliott Gould, Jude Law, Marion Cotillard, Kate Winslet, Bryan Cranston, Jennifer Ehle, Sanaa Lathan, and Gwyneth Paltrow–then promptly stopped thinking about it. I was, though, reminded of it in 2021 when the global pandemic became a reality.

A fan's 13-year-old tweet about casting Wendell Pierce as Perry White in a Superman movie has now become a reality in James Gunn's film. X users rediscovered a 2011 tweet where Pierce was fan-cast as the iconic Daily Planet boss, showcasing the power of social media speculation. The casting of Wendell Pierce in Superman shows that fan castings can become real opportunities, either because they're ideas the casting directors have themselves thought, or sometimes even by influencing casting directly.
The latest casting addition to James Gunn's Superman movie ended up being predicated by a DC Universe fan almost 13 years ago. David Corenswet's Superman film is on its way, following the conclusion of the Dceu franchise in 2023, to pave the way for Gunn's new DC Universe. The movie will be the first proper big screen adventure in Gunn's franchise, with several films also currently being in the works.

Badlands promises exciting new directions for the Predator franchise, potentially bringing back familiar characters for closure. Dan Trachtenberg's upcoming film could finally resolve the lingering mystery of Royce and Isabelle's fate after Predators. Amidst the sci-fi action, Badlands has the opportunity to provide a proper ending for two iconic Predator survivors.
Dan Trachtenberg's 2025 Predator movie Badlands is set to expand the sci-fi action franchise in exciting ways, and in doing so can also resolve a lingering mystery for long-term fans of the series. Predator is relatively unique among long-running movie series, in that its individual entries rarely involve any returning characters. However, where Badlands is concerned, the movie could be ideally placed to bring some characters back from Predator's past and finally provide some closure for key plotlines.
Although not much is known about Trachtenberg's Badlands project, what is clear is that the movie will push the Predator franchise...

Anyways, James Gunn is now all set to change the whole universe. While his reboot sounds like a fresh idea, there is also a bittersweet feeling because they’re shaking up the cast.
Gunn and Peter Safran seem to have something new in the works, and it makes sense why they’re opting for younger actors like David Corenswet (as they provide longevity and potential for more movies in the future).
After his casting as Clark Kent/Superman in June 2023, new cast names were soon revealed, including Nicholas Hoult as the classic villain Lex Luthor. Most recently, the actor for Perry White has also been announced.

James Gunn’s Superman movie is now in production, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t a few more cast members to be announced. THR has reported that Wendell Pierce, best known for his work on The Wire, will play Perry White in Superman, the editor-in-chief of The Daily Planet.
We’ve seen a few actors portray Perry White on the big screen, including Jackie Cooper, who played the role in Superman: The Movie, Superman II, Superman III, and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Frank Langella took over the role for Superman Returns, with Laurence Fishburne stepping in for Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Great Caesar’s Ghost, Perry White has been found.
Wendell Pierce, perhaps best known for his work as a detective on HBO’s seminal crime series The Wire, has been cast as the iconic editor-in-chief of The Daily Planet in James Gunn’s Superman.
The new feature based on the DC Comics character began rolling in Atlanta on Thursday. It was previously titled Superman: Legacy.
David Corenswet is starring as Clark Kent/Superman, with Rachel Brosnahan playing Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane. The cast also includes Nicholas Hoult as classic villain Lex Luthor.
The character of Perry White is a Man of Steel fixture, first introduced in a Superman radio serial in 1940. He is the boss of both Kent and Lane, and depending on the incarnation, can be a tough-as-nails boss, the harried-by-his-reporters boss, or a father-figure boss. The character has been played on the big screen by Jackie Cooper...

When you look at the cast of Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders, it’s pretty amazing how many up-and-coming young actors were involved, most of whom were complete unknowns at that point. Over forty years after its release, Coppola has shared audition footage of The Outsiders on Instagram, featuring Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillion, Ralph Macchio, and more. There’s even footage of actors who didn’t get roles in the movie, including a young Anthony Michael Hall.

“42 years ago we cast ‘The Outsiders’ in a unique way,” Coppola wrote in the caption. “We had all the actors together on a soundstage and would alternate different actors reading for different roles. It was interesting because each of them was watching their competition, so while it could’ve been a volatile situation,...

Although there’s no distributor yet confirmed for Francis Ford Coppola’s decades-in-development, nearly completed epic Megalopolis, we’re starting to get a sense of when we may see the $100 million epic. The director himself recently indicated it’ll be out in a few months, but according to a new report, a fall release is more likely.
In a round-up of Cannes possibilities, Deadline notes the movie is targeting “a big fall IMAX release,” which means a Venice or North American festival (i.e. TIFF or NYFF) could be more likely than a visit to the Croisette. The article also notes it’s unlikely that Steve McQueen’s Blitz, Mike Leigh’s Hard Truths, David Lowery’s Mother Mary, Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist, and Luca Guadagnino’s Queer will be stopping by Cannes, but George Miller’s Furiosa, Audrey Diwan’s Emmanuelle, Andrea Arnold’s Bird, and David Cronenberg’s The Shrouds,...

If you could sit down with Francis Ford Coppola – one of the greatest titans and entrepreneurs in movie history – what would you ask him? His best advice for a young filmmaker? His favorite movies? Perhaps his go-to ice cream flavor? Well, the director had all that and more to share during a recent Instagram Ama session; yes, Coppola has Instagram, and yes, you can ask him anything.
First and foremost, during the Ama, Coppola was asked what his favorite movies of his daughter Sofia’s were, in which he rattled off her debut, 1999’s Virgin Suicides, 2003’s Lost in Translation, 2006’s Marie Antoinette, and 2010’s Somewhere. That’s half of her filmography – Francis is such a dad! As for his own pictures, Coppola didn’t cite The Godfather or Apocalypse Now or Jack but rather 1983’s Rumble Fish, his second S.E. Hinton movie after The Outsiders (also out in ‘83). As for other directors’ works,...
